daily news and photography about cacti and succulents and some carnivorous plants too

Desert Rose

The classic succulent flower. The color naturally ranges from white to red, with many pinks in between. Grows a moderate sized caudex, with long succulent stems. Some people like to name a variety when they find a flower color they like, but I am morally opposed to such frippery. The flower colors vary naturally, and widely. They’re individuals, don’t you know. They aren’t all exactly the same and that’s OK.
